Coachella 2011

Ghoulish Delight · 01-19-2011, 09:41 AM

The lineup is out. 2 names instantly jumped out at me. Animal Collective, Shpongle.

Seriously tempted. Seriously. Don't know if we can make it work, especially if they're only selling 3 day passes again, but if we can convince someone to take the kiddo for a couple days (Sunday, at first glance, looks skipable to me).

The lineup:

Kevy Baby · 01-19-2011, 12:44 PM

I'm sure that once Lisa sees that Kanye West is playing that she will be signing up.

CoasterMatt · 01-19-2011, 12:46 PM

Damn, at first I misread that as "Kanye West has a Stroke"...

Guess I shouldn't get my hopes up.

With very few exceptions, this lineup gets a 'meh' at best.

Not Afraid · 01-19-2011, 12:54 PM

Yeah, it's a total Meh for me.

I think Coachella is loosing it's edge.

Ghoulish Delight · 01-19-2011, 01:00 PM

Other than the 2 I listed, yeah. But neither of those 2 have any other shows scheduled at the moment, and they are 2 acts that have delivered a couple of the most amazing performances I've ever witnessed. So I'm still going to keep an eye on whether they'll be selling single day tickets (which, with the lineup being announced before tickets go on sale, is unlikely)

Cool, Phantogram are playing! They're from Saratoga.

Morrigoon · 01-19-2011, 01:04 PM

Flogging Molly and Duran Duran, but they're on completely different days. I suppose I don't have too much to lament in my lack of ability to go anyway

How hard is it to get out of that parking lot? I have no interest in Coachella, but Stagecoach is the weekend before, or after and I really want to go.

But reading what a nightmare it is to get out with the one road in/out makes me more inclined to drive 8 hours, or fly to Phoenix to see the one headliner I really want to see.

Ghoulish Delight · 01-19-2011, 01:26 PM

It can be a nightmare, especially day 1 of the festival. The keys are to either leave before the headliner of the evening, or just chill and wait for things to clear up. If you're staying for the headliner, it'll already be past midnight by the time you're heading to your car, what's another hour of sitting around at that point? Just make sure you have plenty of gas BEFORE you park, and go to the bathroom BEFORE you get in your car.

There is more than 1 road in/out (2 main roads, plus if you know what you're doing you can head east or west to get to other routes.
